The 2 Bears — Be Strong
‘Bear Hug’ is dangerous in the best way.
Electronica
Jonathan Davis
Named for the fabulously hairy and rotund, The 2 Bears hail in part from the London DJ scene. This brash and unapologetic dance duo knows how to do one thing: Get you in their paws and never let go.
Snow Patrol — Fallen Empires
Techno-fueled nostalgia trip starts strong, but loses momentum after a run-in with oversentimentality.
Indie
Jonathan Davis
Its first record in two years, "Fallen Empires" blends Snow Patrol's specific brand of thoughtful pop-rock with some electronic influences.
Big Fresh — Moneychasers
This unconventional genre-swapper will delight fans of complexity, confuse proponents of a sonic status quo.
Eclectic
Jonathan Davis
If a capella; catchy, ska-infused choruses; or an intro bit that wouldn't be out of place in “Shaft” interest you, give Big Fresh a chance.
